Verse 1

G5                                           
I was born in a town where the rivers flow free
C5
On a January night when the cold winds freeze
G5
I got an Irish name and an injury
D5                         E5
Blessing and a curse cast down on me
G5                    D5          E5
Ain't nobody got the blues like me
C5                    D5          G5
Ain't nobody got the blues like me


Verse 2

G5
Was a blood red sky on the morning tide
C5
Was a cold wind blowing when I left that night
G5 
And the morning bells rang, alright, alright
D5                        E5
Shoulda stayed home with you that night
G5                       D5         E5
Ain't nobody played the fool like I
C5                       D5         G5
Ain't nobody played the fool like I


Bridge 

C5                                 
Things got bad and things got worse
E5
Half like blessing, half like curse
C5
It's these blessings so hard to see sometimes
E5
Gotta little clearer about dusk last night
G5                  D5             E5
Ain't nobody got a blessing like mine
C5                  D5             G5
Ain't nobody got a blessing like mine

G5                        D5         E5
It's a red sky night and I'm doing alright
C5                        D5         G5
It's a red sky night and I'm doing just fine
